Not enough Saunders on this board. He is the most based living writer.

What’s your favorite Saunders? For me, it’s “Bohemians,” which can be found in his book “In Persuasion Nation.” A close second is “Lincoln in the Bardo.”

>In a lovely urban coincidence, the last two houses on our block were both occupied by widows who had lost their husbands in Eastern European pogroms. Dad called them the Bohemians. He called anyone white with an accent a Bohemian. Whenever he saw one of the Bohemians, he greeted her by mispronouncing the Czech word for “door.” Neither Bohemian was Czech, but both were polite, so when Dad said “door” to them they answered cordially, as if he weren’t perennially schlockered.

Posted this in the last Saunders thread but forgot to check back for replies.
In Lincoln in the Bardo, what was up with that scene where the angels judge souls? Why did George deny us visions of hell?

George is an optimist and a Buddhist.

I liked pastoralia. He reminds me of kafka in a way.

Dad’s favorite "experimental" prose fiction writer. American rubbish, for the most part.

Australians and South Africans are Europeans and whining "WELL AKSHYUALLY" doesn't make you distinct because you are all weak smarmy faggots.
